Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 305

The elevator doors slid shut.

The space was so small it felt like there was barely enough air for the two of them. Emmy and James stared at each other, neither sure what to say. Awkward didn’t even begin to cover it.

They both blurted out at once.

“Are you still feeling sick?”

“What are you doing here?”

Their words crashed together, and then it went silent again.

Emmy was pretty sure she knew who to blame—Abriella and her inability to keep secrets. Shifting a little, she said, “I’m fine now.”

James’s dark eyes locked onto her, intense as ever. His voice was low and tight. “Don’t drink again unless I’m with you. Ever.”

She answered before she could stop herself. “I was just in a good mood last night. That’s all. I barely drank.”

His eyebrows pulled together in a deep frown.

In a good mood?

He’d spent all of yesterday in a funk after she stormed out. Meanwhile, she had been celebrating? Did anything he said even matter to her? Did she care at all?

The elevator chimed and the doors slid open on the nineteenth floor.

James didn’t move. Emmy reached out for the close button on instinct, but then James strode out without looking back.

“Come here. I want to show you something,” he tossed over his shoulder.

The words made no sense, but Emmy, confused and more than a little curious, hurried after him.

The hallway outside was wide and bright. At the end, two apartment doors stood open. Two movers were bringing in a gigantic bird of paradise plant from another elevator. As soon as they saw James, they paused and greeted him.

“Mr. Nelson, good afternoon.”

Emmy was totally lost.

A crazy thought flashed through her mind and she stared at James’s broad back, almost afraid to believe it. She hurried inside after him.

The moment she walked in, she was floored.
